Infographic on Iris Recognition vs. Retinal Scanning

A critical part of understanding biometric identification management technology is the ability to differentiate between hardware modalities and understand their capabilities and limitations. One of the most common misunderstandings in biometrics is the difference between iris recognition and retinal scanning, two separate modalities that have distinct characteristics which make them unique.

We assembled the following Infographic as an educational tool to help you understand the differences between iris recognition and retinal scanning covering:

Accuracy

Usability

Invasiveness

Expense

We hope that the Infographic serves as a reference guide to help you understand the difference between these two biometric identification modalities.
